How we use “cookies”
Visitors should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by ISLP’s website through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that a website can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate visitors’ ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will facilitate content improvements.

Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor’s system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning to the visitor an anonymous unique number that has no meaning outside the assigning website. If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature. For more information about how to disable cookies, refer to the “help” or “customer support” section of your specific browser application.

We use Google Analytics (GA) to evaluate usage of our website to help us improve its performance and our users’ experience on our website. GA may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects (LSOs), to perform their services.
